Hi we have here a cameo vase from D'argental at the saint louis glass works France . Paul Nicholas had made a deal with glass works so could produce his own cameo vases
This particular vase was made personally by Paul Nicholas as its signed with the Cross of Lorraine which indicates made by the great artist himself
height 8 inches width 4 inches
polished pontil to base
decor hazelnuts with green foliage peach coloured base glass then clear with an addition of brown layer plus green layer
Paul Nicholas was chief designer at Galle's 1895
and was favoured by Galle however when Galle died 9 years later the new management did not suit Paul Nicholas for the further years up to world war 1 he had designed for Galle after 4 years in war he did not return to Galle's workshops
but to the Saint louis glass works
